The Eastern Virginian of last
week contained an editorial which
attempted to create the impression
that Dr.. a. D. Il. Ewell, the Dem
ocratlc candidate for the House of
Delegates is not a Virginiau, but
has beeu imported from the cattle
ranges OF Kansas. This statement
is utterly groundless aud calculated
TO do harm among those who do
not happen to be so well informed
as the editor of the Vlteiniiln. DR..
Ewell is a native of this county, llils
lived here the most Of his life, If is
Now his permanent home and has al
ways been. Excepting the time he
was at college, while he was in the
Confederate army and Il temporary
>ojourn iukanSaS. me has never lived
any where else. The editor OF the
Vnginian must have known these
facts but it suits his purpose to
create prejudice against the Demo
cratic party aud its candidate in
the way he has chosen. 1t would
be just as fair for us to maintain
that the editor OF the Virginan is
IL wild man Of the woods because
lie has recently been caught in IL
certain secret Republican meeting
held down iu tile bushes near the
Fair Grounds. The people OF Ac-
comac know that DR.. Ewell is Ia
tive and to tie manner borli, and
they will rally TO linn and by their
votes rebuke the uDscrGpuious at
temptS that are now being made to
prejudice the popular mind
against him. Surely the Re-
publican party of Accomac Is
in a sorry plight when its
advocates have to resort to such
questionable means to aid it's lost
and desperate fortunes

my heart to HEX the monkey, for such u
natural blunder. !, And it took three glasses
Of lemonade, q bag Of peanuts and ten
cent twist Of candy to soothe Johnnys
rufned feelings and bring him around TO a
sightseeing attitude again.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Dodson and the nine
junior DodsOns were spread out over front
seat they made q pleasant picture Of placid
rural content, and the clown, with ready
appreciation, directed some Of his happiest
hits straight at the group, to Mr.. Dodson's
intense delight, and Maria Matilda's
charms SO wrought on the ring-streaked
gentleman's fancy that he paid her an open
compliment, which pleased her SO that she
was fain to hide her bushes behind
''maw's" capacious shoulder. ##5s#
The animals had pleased Mr.. Dodson and
his family in heightened and intellectual
sense, but it took the unparalleled perform
ance OF the lady in scanty apparel to bring
out the full force Of Mr.. Dodson's .admira-
ton. ~ ~. T."
Mrs. Dodson was touched most deeply by
the antics Of the fesh-colored gentleman,
who tied himself into bowknots, while Ma
ria Matilda could see nothing in the whole
performance but s'that DEAR darlin' funny
clown, te-he!" III
Taking it all around, it was a remarkably
fine show, and if there were any regrets in
regard to the cook-stove, or lingering
doubt that the price Of it had not been spent
wisely and well, they were not expressed.
When Mr.. Dodson and his wife came back
to the wagon, they found that the horses
had gnawed a generous peice out of the
wagon box, and had paved and kicked up
the ground in wide circle about them, and,
while the children were clambering into the
wagon from all sides, like the pictures of
the lannon's children who lived in shoe,
Mr.. Dodson remarked snappishly:
II don't see why bosses can't STAN still,
jist ez well ez ter be founcin' round all
over creationp' The bay horse whispered
hint Of revenge into the gray mares ear,
and when Mr.. Dodson said 'sgelang," they
did 'ge-lang,' with such force that Mr.
Dodson's heels flew up, and five Of the chill
dren lost their hats.
Thus ended the Dodsons' attendance upon
the, "great moral and intellectual
menagerie, and hippodrome; complete

RHEUMATISM AND CATARRH
CAN BE CURED.

CANANDA1GUA, N.Y., May %, 1885.
Pardee Medicine Co.,
GENTLEMEN:-N Nearly all winter I was
confined to my room with intlammatory
rheumatism. / commenced using DR..
Pardee's, Rheumatic Remedy, but after
taking it for time the pain became more
intense, and I was alarmed and feared
the remedy was making me worse, but
continued its use and soon the pain left
me, and gradually improved, the sore
ness leaving my arms and shoulders and
seeming to pass out at my toes. 1t has
completely cured me. At the time I
commenced using the remedy had a
throat difficulty and the catarrh, which T
found to be better after taking it, and it
occurred to me to use it as a gargle,
which did, and to my great satisfaction
I improved rapidly, and to-day am free
from both rheumatism and catarrh. I
consider it indispensable as a family
medicine. I take one teaspoonful after
breakfast and find it splendid tonic.
7 would advise you to recommend it as a
gargle for throat troubles and catarrh,
for know it will cure. I have seen some
remarkable cures from the use of this
remedy, and it is one can recommend
to all.
am, very truly yours,
